We've said for years now that the parts were better than the whole when it came to defense. I think the conversation starts with top 15, with anything less being a huge disapointment. I am hoping for top 12, and for players to stay healthy.

The OLB position is scarily thin, and since our top 2 players there are made of glass it is a bit of a concern. I do expect Grubenchips to snipe a couple of players that get cut from other teams to provide more depth at some point.

If you grab the "top 2 corners" in the draft, sign a big name DT, trade up for the type of coverage LB you've needed for years, overhaul your entire defensive scheme...and can't crack the top 15: that is a big time let down.
